Penasquito.Irrigation

Penasquito.Irrigation
This image is from another Goldcorp-owned mine, the San Martin Project in the Siria Valley, Honduras. It shows the same cyanide leaching irrigation method used at Penasquito. Ten years after having begun operations, the environmental disaster in the Siria Valley is evident. Adjacent communities have reported hundreds of health issues involving intestinal and/or renal cancer, nervous system disorders, and research from a 2006 study found that 96 per cent of the population suffers from rashes and other skin problems, most likely caused by exposure to toxic materials from the mine, according to Daniel Trujillo in Diario Co Latino.

The Dominion is a monthly paper published by an incipient network of independent journalists in Canada. It aims to provide accurate, critical coverage that is accountable to its readers and the subjects it tackles. Taking its name from Canada's official status as both a colony and a colonial force, the Dominion examines politics, culture and daily life with a view to understanding the exercise of power.
